I'll be doing a hydro grow here soon, I'll have some guidance though.
Mindmelted is going to help me through that, he's taught me some about hydro but I have very much more to learn. I'm only going to do 1-2 plants hydro for a test run, the rest will be soil. Maybe this next grow or the one after the next, still debating.
By the way got a new pic update.

Usually takes about a week to see anything good from a FIM, just be patient you'll see the development.

Week 4 Day 3
31 Day's Old:
I Got rid of the male. I FIM the big one a day or 2 ago lol i can't remember right now. Currently germing 5 seeds. I don't think one is doing atleast a bit of good right now due to how small and weak looking. I took a picture of the males stem to see if the big part of it is how big my stems should have been. One it went and staied in my growbox it's stem bulked up.

They look fine to me, personally but if you want more vegetative growth get more nitrogen.

I was going to grow 1 straight up and then when it got to a curtain height i was going to flower it and the others i was going to lst and let it veg forever and just keep jacking clones from it if i ever get lucky enough to just get atleast 1 female, but im only working with 2 plants now and 1 is still so small and weak looking.

Mental, when you decide you want to start with hydro, ill take you under my wing sorta speak. I think you'll like hydro. Not saying anything bad about soil. I just saw doobieus post and man... the girl can grow.

Lol thank you Floyd, I like soil better because of quality in taste and smell. Hydro's great for commercial and can also have a great taste and smell, just not comparable to soil. There's so many natural bacterias in soil that hydro can't imitate you know?
Soil doesn't generally have the yield hydro does or the time factor though, and that's where hydro benefits.
I figured to learn hydro since I've got soil down pretty damn well, it'll give me more knowledge to help people with and it'll be a new experience as well.

Hey MC. You have to be odds on favourite for a female by now m8. You deserve an award for endurance after having to kill so many males.
She'll come m8.
I wonder if the final barrier to legalizing dope is because it's so sexist
Like your idea about going for a single cola and a mom. Hope you get better luck this time.

Alright you guys with Blackberry's....
If you can get to the "Go to" page on the browser, and it's taking forever from there, clear your cache and history. To do that, make sure you're on the "Go to" page, hit the menu key (Button with all the dots), select "Options", select "Cache Operations", clear it all.
If it's just RIU that's giving you issues....
Go into "Options" (The sane place Cache Operations is in), Select "Browser Configuration", and make sure all boxes are checked. Make sure show images says On WML & HTML, same with Content Mode.
Also when on the home screen, hold down ALT and press, L, G, L, G, when you're in the Event Log, press the Menu key (Button with dots) and select Clear Log, the select Delete. (This helps improve/maintain all around performance on BlackBerry's not just browser performance)
If none of this works then you need to pull your battery, or it's network related.
Hope this helps

it isnt that it is slow it is that when i post a reply it will act like it loaded and do nothing then when you look you dont see your post then when you send it again it says something about it duplicating so that is why i have some messages more then once when i use my blackberry.

Those directions were for browser fixes and general fixes.... not just performance. Clearing your log does help with general performance but again most of those directions were directed towards browser issues.

Well, I agree with you about soil, does have a better "earthy" taste. But I have had some really good hydro.
Ugh.. I ended up at the Emergency room today... Had a bad heat stroke, so dont underestimate ventilation people. And when its hot drink alot of cold water, I forgot too and nearly passed out. Wasnt getting any oxygen to my brain and I was turning blue... Have anyone played that video game Harvest Moon? Well you are a farmer in this video game and you can work yourself till you pass out blue in the face. Then you find yourself in the hospital. Yep that sums it up.

Yea i clear my cookies and cash or w,e and shit on my blackberry. Sorry to hear that floyd. Yea i am no longer growing (might whenever ever i get my own house but idk). i trashed my 2 plants i had left and the thing that pisses me off the plant i fim i counted a total of 3 tops but yea that isn't the thing that pissed me off the thing that pissed me off is that after i cut off every single fan leaf (kept the new branches that were starting to grow from between the stem and the fan leaves) and when i looked up where i did the fim at, on the node right below it is saw 2 female flowers....... So yea im kinda really pissed the fuck off about that. The plant was looking very healthy healthier then any plants i had (not including the bulky plant that turned out to be a male) and the leaves were strong and when i trashed it, it had the best roots out of all my plants i ever had.... So yea.... ill still be here watching over your grow doobs and v12 and floyd (if you decide to make a journal).

Well best of luck to you in the future and you're more than welcome to follow/chill around in my journal.
